Description

To Doctor Dody McCleland, the gruesome job of dealing with the results of an explosion at the Necropolis Railway Station is testing enough. But when her suffragette sister Florence is implicated in the crime, matters worsen and Dody finds her loyalty cruelly divided. Can she choose between love for her sister and her secret love for Chief Inspector Matthew Pike, the investigating officer on the case?

Dody and Pike's investigations lead them to a women's rest home where patients are not encouraged to read or think and where clandestine treatments and operations are conducted in an unethical and inhumane manner. Together, Dody and Pike must uncover such foul play before their secret liaisons become public knowledge - and before Florence becomes the rest home's next victim.

This whole series has been delightful. Besides the actual book reading , I have spent hours on the internet reading about different actual persons mentioned in the books, issues involved in medicine in the UK (and the USA ), and the plight of the working class. I have read a lot about the women's rights battles and the brave women who worked tirelessly for years to help make our world a better place.
